GT3B Hack Question and Answer Thread

[STruck]

Hi there. I can't really search for my question... Pc broken and phone is so slow... Hopefully someone answers to me

Question: Someone have said GTX3 and GT3B is the same radios? Is that true? Can i ''hack'' my GTX3 with this guide?

I need to get somehow 2 escs work with switch so i can use just rear, front or awd. Other guides how to do that with gtx3 are welcomed

Thanks

That can be done it is in the DIG setup. Rocker switch moves drive proportions from 0/100 through 50/50 to 100/0

From what I understand you can make any button do any function on any channel on all 1-8ch(varies by your rx) so yeah would be the answer.. But I haven't received my hack kit yet so I'm not completely sure.. But I've read quite a bit about this.

I run a servo winch on my summit the servo circuit board is the controller in this case but heyok makes some good controllers for a good price.

Yep, gtx3 branded turnigy is same radio...... Same hack..... Same boards...... Different external case.

Two esc you mix channels together.... Then step rates between channels to regulate % to each axles.

Alright this might not belong here but I don't know what to do and I don't think this is normal. I'm waiting anxious now for my hack kit. I ordered two weeks ago and still hasn't gone into shipping, I contacted overkillrc on the Web page and no answer about a week later. I'm getting paranoid... Where's my kit?

Edit: it's just me being an asshole.. it's on backorder.. He's Missing some parts for the kit. Sorry.

I also put in an order 9/1/14 for 2 of the 4 pin connectors (I already have a hack kit from my first radio) and order still shows "New" condition, no backorder or shipping

[elsewhere]

Losikid, where are you??

[dextan22]

mine was for a kit, an extra header and a vr, placed 9/3 and status is still NEW too.

this thread needs attention. I was going to order a radio for my wife- I went on and filled out the question form and after putting in the "code" (to make sure I am human) it rejected the form. So sorry, I don't play well with electronics, but I'm not going to go all the way through that bs again to ask simple questions.

I emailed losikid a few days ago and have yet to get a reply. I want to buy a hacked gt3b...

[LoneRanger]

You and me both muddinscx, but I am not gonna drop coin on a company that I cant get a hold of. I would rather spend 4x the money on a "quality" radio from a company that I know is going to be there to answer my questions.

I'm sure there's a valid reason for his lack of replies.

I know I sometimes take a while to respond because I am busy with work, or away from the net for weeks at a time.

[LoneRanger]

heck with that man, we want our responses NOW! lol - instant gratification and all that!

[Richterat83]

I fully understand a delayed response or not taking on radio jobs, but I ordered parts that require no work on his end (other than packaging and shipping)

An email or a note on his website saying it could be delayed is all.

Is there any other source for just the 4 pin header male to female 90degree?

[muddinscx]

I have delt with him before and had great customer service, so by him not responding I would say there has to be a good reason.

I was just stating that there is more than one person trying to get a hold of him, so dont feel like he is singling anyone out. Im in no hurry for the radio, so ill give it a few weeks.

[Exocaged]

Got a question maybe someone will have an answer. This radio can differentiate between long and short presses. I am using an esc to control a winch and it's run off the d/r switch. Is there a way to make it give the winch a 2-speed effect?

[DrDiff952]

No.

Hey man just got one of your radios from your site, didn't think to ask but do they come with RX? I got 8 channel mod
